Surinam crowded Snowdrop into the fence. /
Surinam led at the quarter in rs. at the
half in :50l with Snowdrop at his side,
Peel several lengths back The finish down
the homestretch between Snowdrop and
Surinam was an exciting race. both jockeys
plying their whips and sending their
animals for all they were worth. Surinam
passed the score, winner by length in
1:429, Snowdrop second, Peel third.
Before the Jockeys had returned to
the score the trainer of Snowdrop and
others who claimed foul on the part of
Surinam, went into the judges stand and
entered a protest. The entire track in front
of the judges stand Immediately filed with
people, and the holders of Surinam pools
and Snowdrop pools talk long, loud and
angrily with each other. The judges, Di-
rectors Green, Boggs and Carr, formed
themselves into court and began the ex-
animation of witnesses, which lasted for
some little time. The judges, after about
half an hours investigation, announced
that Snowdrop won the heat, Peel second
and Surinam placed third for foul riding.
This announcement was applauded by
some, while large number cried Rats
Ratsp' Surinam is bay colt, by Joe
Hooker, dam Addie @. He is clearly one
of the best, if not the best race colts that
has contested at the fair. He clearly out
ran Snowdrop on the homestretch, and on
Friday last won a game race by several
lengths from field of good horses, and
was placed last for foul riding. Many
claim that the rulings in both instances
were outrageous, while on the other hand
horsemen familiar with the rules governing
racing sustain the decision of the judges.
